Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 12406 — The prohibition of wine was revealed

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: The prohibition of wine was revealed concerning two tribes of the Ansar. They drank wine until, when they became intoxicated, they began to tamper with one another. When they sobered up, a man would see the marks (of wounds) on his face, his head and his beard, and would say: My brother so-and-so did this to me; by Allah, had he been kind and merciful towards me, he would not have done this. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: They were brothers with no rancour in their hearts, but (through this incident) rancour arose in their hearts. So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "Wine, gambling, idols and divining arrows are only filth from the work of Satan, so avoid them so that you may prosper. Satan only wants to cause enmity and hatred between you through wine and gambling, and to hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer; so will you not desist?" [al-Ma'idah: 91]. Then some people who were given to overdoing things said: It is filth, yet it is (already) in the belly of so-and-so who was killed on the Day of Badr, and in the belly of so-and-so who was killed on the Day of Uhud. So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "There is no blame on those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten" [al-Ma'idah: 93], to the end of the verse.
